The Rev. Al Sharpton, who shed over 170 pounds several years ago, is still svelte and hes flexing his fitness routine on social media.
Though the civil-rights activist is often seen in a suit and tie, photos of Sharpton in informal mode are going viral.
On Fathers Day, the 62-year-old dad posted a pre-workout selfie on Instagram in which he sports leg socks and knee-long shorts.
Another mirror selfie features the reverend in a bathrobe holding a comb.
Meanwhile, a video posted on Twitter shows a suited Sharpton doing one-armed pushups in an office room.
His snaps are drawing ridicule on Twitter, where one user wrote: Al Sharpton look like a 12 year old in his P.E clothes for 3rd period.
But Sharptons got no time for haters. On Wednesday he told TMZ: I live in the Trump era. If he can tweet at night, I can selfie before I go to the gym in the morning, and dont be jealous because Im so fit at 62.

Reverend Al Sharpton Jr. is an American civil rights activist, minister, television and radio talk show host, and a former White House adviser. Sharpton developed his commanding speaking voice at a very young age, as he was a frequent churchgoer, eventually becoming an ordained ministry at just 10 years old. Before learning to read or write, Sharpton preached his first sermon at 4 years old. He then traveled and toured with famed gospel singer Mahalia Jackson to deliver sermons. His successful civil rights career soon followed as he became the Youth Director of New Yorks Operation Breadbasket, Director of Ministers for National Rainbow Push coalition, and founder of his own progressive civil rights organization, the National Action Network (NAN), one of the leading civil rights organizations in the world. Now, Rev. Al Sharpton hosts MSNBCs PoliticsNation and a nationally syndicated radio show.
In 2003, Sharpton ran as a Democratic presidential candidate. During a Rock the Vote debate, moderator Anderson Cooper asked, Which of you are ready to admit to having used marijuana in the past? Rev. Al Sharpton responded, I grew up in a church. We didnt believe in that. Sharpton made it very clear his relationship with marijuana, but now hes taking a different stance, Just because I dont use marijuana as a Minister, does not mean I have the right to impose my moral values on others. Although he doesnt personally consume marijuana, Sharpton is calling for more black representation in the white-dominated weed industry. He will be the keynote speaker at the Cannabis World Congress Business Exposition, marking the first time he will publicly speak about the decriminalization of marijuana and increasing diversity and better inclusion within the marijuana industry. Sharpton will also discuss the disproportionate number of marijuana arrests of black people, who are two to four times more likely to be arrested for marijuana than white people.
